## Overview

Far below the dungeon, a stair that was never on the household's plans: a landing guarded by a warding glyph, a vault with a cold white brazier, a floating hourglass and two iron knights, and a long low tunnel through the black rock to the catacombs.

Cold stone, dripping steps and the feeling of a great many floors overhead.

**Resting:** No sleeping here: a Short Rest only, out of sight of foes. Not here, with a cold white fire burning and iron watching from the alcoves.
